All the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance

Don't you know

If they move too quick

oh whey oh)

They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile

They got the money on a bet

Gold crocodiles oh whey oh)

They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say

Ay oh whey oh ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian

The blonde waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor

They've got the moves oh whey oh)

You drop your drink

Then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books

They like the punk and the metal band

When the buzzer rings oh whey oh)

They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say

Ay oh whey oh ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back

Shift your arm then you pull it back

Life is hard you know oh whey oh)

So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops

They're hanging out in the donut shop

They sing and dance oh whey oh)

Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen

The party boys call the Kremlin

And the Chinese know oh whey oh)

They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say

Ay oh whey oh ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian

Walk like an Egyptian
